GNOMONE’s proposal aims to transforming the beach and its space. The original place itself (its light, white pebbles, the horizon) is intended to be a design material with the addition of only one stage element: a bunch of wooden posts, fixed on the ground in order to arrange a vertical elements maze.

Before the intervention, the beach is an isotropic space, whose sense can be immediatly perceived. Posts texture add something to existing space, dashing new landscape, sensorial, functional virtues; in opposition to initial settings, the installation is to be explored and experienced. The project defines and arranges a system of void spaces, whose sequence points out a non-homogeneous with the street, the beach and the sea. By suggesting an usual image –beach umbrellas on the strand-, GNOMONES’s proposal reworks the beach as a limit space for contemporary urban landscape: open, free and in continuos mutation. Void spaces host program facilities: white essential objects that have a dialogue with rude wooden posts. Stages are frames whose goal is both the landscape and the architectural proposal, making this double landscape virtue explicit. Besides facilities, hosted by void spaces and given by the program, more possibilities concern maze use: wooden posts function as infrastructures for multiple uses and recomend users to be free and grab the space. What about roofing a portion of the space? or biulding up a goal post? or hanging an hammock?
